Blu-ray Review: Vacancy

Post author By prawn1
Post date December 17, 2008

David (Luke Wilson) and Amy Fox (Kate Beckinsale) are on the verge of divorce after the loss of a child. On their way home from Amy’s parents, David decides to take a late night detour off the highway. He thinks it may be a quicker way home but not only does he manage to get them horribly lost on a remote country road, their car breaks down as well. With no chance of getting a tow-truck this late in the night, David and Amy find a vacancy at a seedy motel run by a seemingly harmless manager Mason (Frank Whaley). Mason hooks the couple up with the “honeymoon suite” at no extra cost.

How do things fare in the honeymoon suite? Hit the jump and find out.

Blu-ray Movie Review: Resident Evil: Extinction

Post author By prawn1
Post date December 16, 2008

Here’s a quick-ish history for those uninitiated with the series. The first Resident Evil film tells of an amnesiac heroine Alice as she attempts to escape a secret underground facility belonging to the Umbrella Corporation (a bioengineering pharmaceutical company). The said facility is full of zombies. Resident Evil: Apocalypse is the second in the series and follows Alice, who after escaping the underground Umbrella facility, must band together with other survivors to escape Raccoon City before it gets nuked. The said town is once again full of zombies.

Now in Resident Evil: Extinction Alice is set to fight (if you haven’t figured this out already) even more zombies. An experimental T-Virus created by the Umbrella Corporate has transformed the world’s population into enraged flesh-eating zombies. No city is safe from the zombie hordes. However, two Raccoon City survivors Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps), team up with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke), and Nurse Betty (Ashanti). Gathering together a group of survivors, they travel across the Mojave Desert in an armoured convoy looking for supplies, and more importantly, uninfected survivors.

More zombies after the jump.

Blu-ray Review: Underworld: Evolution

Post author By prawn1
Post date December 16, 2008

As sequels usually do, Underworld: Evolution continues the story about the war between vampires and werewolves (or Lycans as they are called) that was introduced in the first Underworld film. Don’t worry if you haven’t watched the first one as this sequel shows extensive flashbacks to ensure you know what’s going on. How thoughtful.

So in Underworld: Evolution, sexy death-dealer Selene (Kate Beckinsale) and mildly attractive vampire-lycan hybrid Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman) are on the run after doing something really bad in the first film. They are being hunted by vampire elder leader Marcus (Tony Curran), who fails to obtain an artifact in Selene’s possession. Recognizing the importance of the said possession, Selene and Michael travel to the hideout of Andreas Tanis, an exiled vampire historian. Tanis tells a rather convoluted tale and refers them to Lorenz Macaro, stating he can help stop Marcus. Lorenz tells his story to the pair but is cut short as Marcus finds and attacks them. People get killed and Marcus boldly says he will become a god and rule a race of hybrids. Marcus then flies away, but Selene and a team of “cleaners” track him down and set the scene for an epic battle that will change the history of the two warring factions…

Blu-ray Review: Monty Python’s Life of Brian

Post author By prawn1
Post date December 15, 2008

They say a change is as good as a holiday. And Monty Python’s Life of Brian is sure to forever change your biblical view.

This controversial, satirical comedy by the Monty Python team was initially banned in Norway for fear that it may offend peoples’ religious sensibilities. In the neighboring country Sweden the film was marketed as “The film too funny to be shown in Norway.” A town in South Wales also had it banned even though it didn’t have a cinema! With those kinds of credentials, you know you’re in for a great movie.

Blu-ray Review: The Devil’s Own

Post author By prawn1
Post date December 13, 2008

You know him; you love him; now see that man Brad Pitt in this slow-paced moralistic drama.

The Devil’s Own was directed by the late Alan J. Pakula (April 7th 1928 – November 19th 1998) and tells the story of Frankie McGuire (Brad Pitt) who at a very young age witnesses his father’s brutal execution by masked gunmen. He joins the IRA, and soon becomes one of the most dangerous men in Ireland. McGuire then travels to New York on a mission. Through an IRA sympathizer, he gets a fake green card and arranges to stay with Tom O’Meara (Harrison Ford), an honest cop and family man.

More dodgy deals after the jump.
